Bunkley And Super Bowl Chances 6/7/06

Hey G. do you think Bunkley is going to improve this year? John fromTrenton

I think Bunkley will play better but it has nothing to do with a change of attitude, it has everything to do with the fact that the Eagles are putting him on the field.  He hasn't done anything to be a starter but the Eagles have made him a starter at defensive tackle.

They know that the only way he's going to learn is by putting him on the field.  They should have done that last year.  A position like DT can be learned only by playing.  I think this kid will get better and better because he's got big time strength and quickness. He had those same skills last year and would have helped the Birds if they had let him play.

G. Cobb what do the Eagles have to do to win a Super Bowl?   Bob  from Delaware County

They've got to have great years out of their superstars, McNabb, Westbrook and their offensive line.  The wide receivers must step up and play at their best.   It will make them a dominant offense.  I think that could very well happen.  If the wide receivers step up, this year's offense could be the best the Eagles have ever had.

The key will be the defense.  The Eagles pay a lot of  money to their front seven but they haven't been playing like it.  Kearse needs to have a superstar year with double digits sacks and a bundle of big plays.  The run defense has to come into it's own with the Eagles forcing offenses into 3rd and longs.  The key will be the defensive tackles and Trotter.  Jim Johnson must rotate the defensive line.  

If the front seven plays like they're being paid a Super Bowl championship could be had.
